Compassion is the Nature of Buddha

Through practice, a person’s spiritual realm gets sublimated and his moral standards get improved continuously. His mind is not narrow as previously, but in the process of getting broad and generous. At the beginning, the sympathy of the humankind and bemoan of the universe may arise during the quiet practice. Along with the effort taken and deepen, his merciful love will spout like the poet's inspiration from the depths of the soul. And his view of the world and life philosophy will have a great change. His understanding and comprehension about universe, time and life has been far beyond the previous “I” , and has exceeded ordinary people. He may still work to serve people. He may still dress for dinner. But to him, Cyril fame, honor gains and losses has become lighter and lighter. And the hate, jealousy, anxiety trouble etc in his mind has got less and less. His heart is full-filled with love and passion of life, society, human beings and universe. His mind is as broad as ocean, as universe. As he further improves, he will be in a merciful and selfless spiritual state. Such state is kind of functional state------a state of harmony between man and nature. Then your heart would have completely integrated with all the things on earth. This is an unbiased state that everyone is with me physically and everything is with me from the same root. At this time the concept about I and material object, public and private has been played down or even disappear in his heart. He has full of sincerity and respect for flowers, trees, snow and ice, earth and rocks. He takes heaven, earth and everything on earth as his master, from which he got inspiration and passion. When he is in such a merciful and all-I forgotten lofty realm, even he does not practice for a minute, it is equivalent to 24 hours a day exercises. The essence of practice is self-cultivation. It is a high degree of physical and mental health, is the distillation of the spirit. This is so-called ability results from morality.
